Objective

As the world population grows, optimizing food production is becoming increasingly more important. Your challenge this month is to code the Agent to improve the efficiency of growing and harvesting crops through automation. Just like in the real world, crops in Minecraft have special requirements to successfully grow. Use the book and quill to take notes on the choices you made to automate your farm and about the variety of crops you chose to grow.

Extensions

  • Investigate real ways farmers are using automation to increase crop yield.
  • Research the world food crisis and talk about contributions you can make locally.
  • Code the agent to carve a pumpkin Minecraft then replicate the design the real life.
  • Share images or video of your Agent automated farm with the community at #minecraftedu.
